A PSALM OF LIFE.

Through the wild Babel of our fevered time
The song of Homer cometh, grave and stern,
With tidings from the worlds fresh, healthy
prime,
Tidings which our worn, wearied age con-
Germ.
Unchanged, through all the long unnumbered
years,
The voice of Homer sings the song divine,
Which tells Of godlike tolls, of heroes tears,
And of the punishment Of Priam's line:
The battle in the plain is raging yet:
The watch fires blaze, the beak'd ships line
the shore:
For us the foe in grim array is set:
All! but do we fight as they fought of yore?
For we, too like the heroes long ago,
Must wage slow wars and sail the bitter sea;
Fierce is the conflict, loud the tempests blow,
And the waves roar and rage INCREASINGLY.
Still must we wander DER the stormy main;
'Twixt rocks and whirlpools dread passage
make;
Still must the Sirens sing to US in vain;
Still from the tolls of Gree must we break
Turn, then, to Homers Psalm of Life, and
How they endured, whose pilgrimage is
done;
And hear the message they have left for
thee:
Only by Patience is the victory won.

A Youthful Hero.

An application has been made to the
secretary of the treasury for medal to be
given to boy of 10 years under the law
which permits those who have saved human
life by heroic rescue to be so distinguished.
The lads name is Walter Kernochan. His
father is merchant of wealth in New York
and his uncle is Lorillard, the tobacco
manufacturer. Last fall, while wander
ing along the banks of the Shrewsbury
river, in New Jersey, near his fathers
summer house, the boys nurse, Anna
Savette, fell into the water. She sank
twice. and then, according to the
affidavits presented, the child, hear
ing her cries, ran to her assist

into the stream, seized her by the hair, held
her head above water and swan ashore

more that 100. He is shown by evidence to
be phenomenal swimmer forsa lad of his
age. and to have taken to the water like a
duck before he shed his petticoats. While
the claim is regarded as unusual, and there
are skepticS VINO cannot be convinced that
such feat could be performed by boy of
his age and weight it is probable that he
will be given medal by the government,
as he has already received one from the

Dancing or Kissing.

T. W. III. in Harper's Bazaar
1t way be asserted, in a general wav,
that wherever in the United States YOU do
not find dancing you find kissing. In COM
munities where dancing was disapproved
have seen stirring games' called for and
carried into practice at entertainments held
in school houses, and even at church socia-
bles. In such places church members
and. for aught l know, deacons-take part
in the amusements; and l have seen it de-
velop freshness, so to speak, in grizzled
men, which made them, one would saw.
anything but seductive and beguiling TO the
young and fair. Among those of earlier
years kissing becomes in such communities
systematic pursuit, like hunting or fishing.
Young girls whose parents object to it
are neglected or disliked; young man in
such village told friend of mine. with
some indignation, that she was the only
girl in town whom he had not kissed. If is
of no use to object to it as immoral where
the church members are committed to it.
Perhaps it cannot be called immoral: but
when society has reached certain stage of
refinement these games vanish. The svm-
Dol of that increased refinement is usually
dancing. Dancing, Whatever its draw
backs, serves practically as the antidote to
kissing games; where one begins the other
dies out They do not seem to flourish
side by side; at any rate, people rarely 20
back from dancing to kissing. Granting,
for the sake of argument, that it is neces-
sary to have some amusement, the choice
lies, in our villages and their scattered
families, between these two forms of re-
Taxation. Which is the better of the two?

SIR JOHN MAcDoNALD's administration is

SIR JOHN MACDoNALD'S administration is
not resting on q bed of roses. There is a
storm already brewing in the Canadian par
Lament which is likely to burst over his head
with considerable fury in the near future.
Sir JOHNS policy toward the United States in
regard to the fisheries trouble is not satisfac-
tory to the people of the Dominion. His per-
sistence in adhering to the offensive policy
which the government adopted at the Begin
ming of the trouble is having the effect of
alternating many of his partisans. The fact
is, the people of Canada feel that they have
more reason to entertain friendly feelings to-
ward us than to assume a hostile attitude.
They do not propose to allow Sir JOHN MAC
DONALD to make catspaw Of the Dominion
government to pull English chestnuts out of
the fire. If England wants to pick quarrel
with the United States the Canadians don't
want it done over their shoulders.

Peculiar Young Man.

The dashing son of distinguished
Southern senator is also among the missing,
having left cloud of debts behind him
which will keep his memory green for some
time at least in the minds Of his numerous
Washington creditors.
His greatest exploit was at the expense
Of famous st. Louis belle who has been
dazzling the eyes of society here One day
the young man met the belle On the street
and playfrlly grabbed her pocketbook. She
didn't mind this much, but when he opened
it and took out ten dollar note she began
to wonder whether it was all joke or not.
She ordered him to return it at once, but
to her surprise the senatorial hopeful re-
piled that he would see her later. Perhaps
he will, but he hasn't yet. The fellow,
after securing the money, called upon
young lady who was friend of the St.
Louis belle and invited her out to dine with
him. Notwithstanding, of course, the pre-
ceding facts, she accepted, and had good
dinner. Shortly after this episode the town
began to grow rather sultry for the young
man, and he packed up his baggage and
left. He hasn't shown his head here since,
and the chances are that he Will steer clear
of this town for some time to come.

A HUNTER OF THssTLES.
How siias Barber. OF Ohio. Gave
Luck to Ex-President Hayes.

Luck to Ex-Presiden. Hayes.
Toledo Blade
Old Silas Barber is dead, and his last
words were: Don't let any thistles grow
upon my grave" For half a century he
wandered through the state Of Ohio. His
last days he spent IN the Seneca county
poor house. He had no relatives in the
world, and no one could tell where he came
from. although there is a local tradition
that he came from Canada all alone in
a boat by himself more than fifty years ago.
He had but one mission, one object on
earth, and that was to eXterminate all kinds
OF thistleS. For the entire half century he
never relented his warfare upon these enc
mics of the farmer. From dawn to dark
ness he worked with scythe, grub and hoe,
cutting out and killing these enemies of the
farmer. No one could tell how he lived;
he refused to accept pay for his work, and
none Of the farmers could impose upon
him, for he would not work unless he could
cut the thiStles.
In winter it was noticed that he migrated
with the birds southwark. but back he
would come with the thistles again in the
spring. He had one other failing. He
imagined sometimes that he was great
general; at other times he thought that he
was an officer of the law, with full power
to make arrests. I ears ago some practical
joker sent him with orders to arrest the
chief of police of Tffin. BY pretense he
succeeded in getting the chief of police to
show him into the inferior Of the Jail. He
then read an imaginary warrant and locked
the police captain up in cell for long
time.
1t was more common practice to in
dnce him to arrest some country swain
who was counting his sweetheart Armed
with his imaginary warrant he would
force his way into the presence of the low
ing couple, and in spite of tears, protesta-
lions and entreaties he would make the ar
rest. He would walk dozen miles to ar
rest any man, and more than once has he
aided the police and constables in discharg-
ting their duties.
One day Silas Barber made his appear
ance at Columbus carrying an odd-looking
bag. He called at the residence of Ruther-
ford B. Hayes, who was governor of the
state at that time. The servants allowed
him to see the general, thinking him crazy,
but he watched the door. and when Gov.
Hayes came out ''Old Silas" presented his
eXcellency with large black cat, saying:
'As you have been kind to men so be kind
to the cat" Gov. Hayes kept the cat until
after his election to the presidency, when
it died. Hayes friends and neighbors say
that to this black cat much of his good
fortune was DUE
